problem with SST k-omega model
Hi,
I have used SST k-omega model, Realizable and RNG k-epsilon models for a problem involving heat transfer in a duct (internal flow) with a lot separation, reattachment and re-circulations at near-wall regions. Significant differences in wall temperatures are seen between the turbulence models. Unfortunately very high wall temperatures are obtained with the usage of SST k-omega model compared to the k-epsilon models, which has resulted in bad-comparison with the literature. This finding is contrary to other numerical simulation papers. The re-circulation size in case of SST k-omega model is also very different from the k-epsilon models. y+ less than 1 was maintained for all the cases. The reason for high temperatures with the usage of SST k-omega model evades me. Please let me know of your suggestions, as to what can be wrong. Regards Avinash |
What other options within the sst model have you turned on?
|
SST model with Low-Re corrections was used for the simulation
|
I would turn off this option as by default the k-omega model can resolve through the boundary layer without any corrections being required. My experience with this option in the past has not been that good.

Very nice
Hello
i Have used the all turbulent model for a ribbed roughened square duct. my reynolds number was from 10000 to 100000 in low reynolds number SST model was very bad and for higher than 25000 RNG, RM, SST, and etc exhebited good results could you tell me more about your dimensions and reynolds number. As you know the SST model uses K-w in near the wall and uses K-e in far feild if you give more details we could merge in it;) Best Regards Heidar Jafarizadeh |
